GETTING STARTED
Step 1: Peel off the plastic film to expose
the non-slip surface of the silicone pads.
Step 2: Lower your battery into the battery
box base carefully, locating it as centrally
as possible on the non-slip pads.

Step 3: Secure the battery in place by
tightening the velcro strap over the
battery.
Step 4: Install the battery cables onto the
terminal posts of the battery. Ensure the
red cable is connected to the positive (+)
terminal and both black cables connected

Step 1:
Confirm install location of tray, drilling any required
holes.
Install the strap under the tray, sliding the strap into
the slots either side.
Ensure strap is oriented correctly so that the hooks
face toward the Power Station when installed.
Securely affix the tray in position using bolts or
screws, whichever is applicable.
Ensure that washers are used when installing the
tray, to avoid damage.
Note: We do not provide the screws or bolts for this
installation.
Step 2: Ensure straps are laying outside
the tray before lowering the battery box
carefully onto the tray. Attach each strap
hook to the corresponding slot in the
Power Station.
Step 3: For ease of tightening, place
thumbs in each strap loop, pushing firmly
downwards. The strap should tighten and
hold the Power Station firmly in place.
To release, depress the buckle and pull
the strap to loosen.

JUMPER CABLES (OPTIONAL)
KickAss 1000 Amp Jumper Cables have been designed to give you the optimum
starting power in the case of a flat starter battery. When it comes to Jumper Cables
there is no substitute for quality and these KickAss Jumper Cables have been designed
to be tough, durable and most of all, work flawlessly when you need them.
Note:
ŸDo not use jumper cables with lithium batteries.
ŸLeave the jumper cables connected to the flat battery for 5 minutes before
attempting to jump start battery.

SURGE PROTECTED
SWITCH/BUTTONS
The Master Switch
The master switch disconnects everything (except for the
large 175 amp Anderson style plug) from the battery including
the DC-DC Charger. Turning it off is a quick way to disconnect
all devices to ensure your battery is not being drained.
Note: The DC-DC Charger + Solar Regulator cannot charge
the internal battery while the Master Switch is in the OFF
position, nor can an external charger.
If another, external battery is connected through one of the
IN/OUT connectors, the DC-DC is able to charge that battery,
even with the Master Switch in the OFF position - bypassing
the internal battery.
The Voltmeter
The inbuilt voltmeter will display the voltage of your battery.
For an accurate voltage reading, disconnect all loads and
charging sources from the power station and test.
Note: The battery voltage table on the top sticker of the
battery box is to be used as a guide only, check your battery
specifications if you want to be precise.

Benefits of Quick Charge
When paired with compatible devices, a Quick Charge-enabled charger delivers more power, allowing
the connected device to charge faster. As one of the most widely used of the fast charging technologies,
Quick Charge is already in many of your favorite smartphones. If your smartphone is Quick Charge 3.0-
compatible, you can charge up to 80% in just 35 minutes.
To future-proof your chargers, each new Quick Charge generation is backwards compatible, meaning it
will work with the generations that came before.

CONNECTING DC-DC CHARGER
The KickAss Power Station includes a built-in DC-DC Charger suitable for charging
from a vehicle alternator.
The easiest way to connect the Power Station to your vehicle is by using the KickAss
Plug & Play Wiring Kit (sold separately).
The triple Anderson style connector fitted to the Power Station interfaces with the
KickAss Plug & Play Wiring Kit, providing a simple, quick release vehicle charging
solution. This triple connector and cable provides alternator power to the DC-DC on the
Power Station, along with an Ignition Source for charging in vehicles that are fitted with
Smart or Temperature Compensating Alternator.

UNDERSTANDING SOLAR, ALTERNATOR
& CHARGING LIGHTS
• Alternator has priority over solar therefore, if both solar and alternator are connected, only alternator LED is
solid and alternator is charging.
• 30 sec delay between cut-in voltage being reached and charging beginning & a 60 second delay before
disconnecting when under cut-out voltage.
NOTE

The default battery setting is AGM.
When the auxiliary battery is connected, press and hold the mode button for 5 seconds
or until the battery light starts flashing. Then select from either GEL, AGM, WET,
CALCIUM or LITHIUM and wait for the battery light to stop flashing. When this occurs,
your selection is saved.

STAGE DESCRIPTION
Begins after a continuous float stage of 10 days and pulses power
through the battery using the same current and voltage as the
absorption stage to maintain charge and desulphate. During this
time, if the voltage of the auxiliary battery drops below 12.6V, the
charger will restart the charge cycle at Bulk. Once pulse is
completed, the charger reverts to float stage.

Lithium BMS Sleep Mode & Recovery Feature:
Most lithium batteries are built with a Battery Management System (BMS) inside to
protect the battery from overcharging, over discharging and extreme temperature
changes.
One of the key functions of the BMS is to protect your battery by internally
disconnecting the load¹ when voltage drops below specific parameters, this will then
result in the battery entering into a “sleep” mode.
¹ (Load includes any accessories and/or device/s drawing charge from the battery. Eg:
fridges, pumps, food sealers, etc)
The KickAss DC-DC MPPT Solar Battery Charger has a lithium battery recovery
function. This function has been designed to recover lithium batteries from a sleep
mode.
Lithium Battery Sleep Mode Indication:
When the lithium battery has entered sleep mode, the charger will show fault codes of
output open circuit, until all loads¹ are disconnected and a sufficient charge source is
connected.
IMPORTANT : You must select 'LITHIUM' as the battery type by using the 'MODE'
button prior to connecting it to a lithium battery in sleep mode to attempt recovery.
How to Wake a Lithium Battery to Begin Recovery Mode:
First disconnect any load connected to the lithium battery.
Secondly, connect Alternator Input or Solar Input² to the KickAss DC-DC MPPT Solar
Battery Charger.
Thirdly, connect the output from the DC-DC charger to the lithium battery. The Charger
will have all battery types (GEL, AGM, WET CALCIUM, LITHIUM) flashing and the
BULK and PULSE LED lights will remain on for 30 seconds (Indicated in diagram
above,) before entering Recovery Mode.
²(Alternator and Solar inputs must be above cut-in voltage for DC-DC Charger)

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. What types of batteries can I charge with this battery box?
The battery box is compatible with most 12V deep cycle batteries. This includes
AGM, Calcium, Wet, Gel or Lithium LiFePO4.
Q. If storing my KickAss Power Station for long periods, what should I do to
look after my battery’s health?
An AGM battery is best stored fully charged. The KickAss Power Station is fitted with
a Master Switch that allows all outlets to be disconnected from the battery for storage
- meaning nothing can drain the battery over time.
For short term storage we recommend fully charging the battery with a 240V mains
charger, before switching off the Master Switch and storing.
For longer term storage, we recommend instead to connect a 240V mains charger
to the battery in order to continually maintain a full state of charge - this process is
called trickle charging.
Q. Is the Power Station waterproof?
The KickAss Power Station has been designed to be as resistant to moisture and
dust as possible, though it is not waterproof.
Do not leave exposed to rain or weather, and do not submerse.
